Ajax sit top of the Dutch Eredivisie, ahead of fourth-placed PSV, who picked up three points in the Champions League last night. Four wins and a draw, away to Twente on Saturday, is a near-perfect start to the domestic campaign, although that was only Twente’s second point of the season, if that provides a glimmer of hope.
Form has been less convincing in Europe. An honourable 2-2 draw away to Rapid Vienna was made meaningless by a 2-3 defeat in Amsterdam in the Champions League qualifiers. Ajax then endured a tense two-leg Europa League qualifier against Czechs, Jablonec, which ended in a 1-0 aggregate win. Not that we should be dismissive of anyone on European form.
What will give Ronny Deila room for some encouragement is who Ajax have faced so far in the league. AZ (13th placed), Willem II (15th), NEC (10th) ADO Den Haag (12th), before dropping those points to Twente (16th). All they can do is beat the teams before them, but they will not have been stretched domestically. Even Jablonec are struggling in 6th place in the Czech league. Celtic should be able to provide a test at a higher tempo.
By any measure, Celtic are not without their problems. We’ve not kept a home clean sheet since the opening day of the league campaign against Ross County, and we’ve won only one of our last four away games – and that was against Dundee United who lost four on the bounce. But there’s three points to play for tomorrow, and I doubt either team are taking them for granted.

The tinny sound of forced laughter.
Watched the Pittodrie game in Germany on saturday
Anyone else catch the symbolic substitute of Willo Flood coming on a sub as the Celtic boards pining for hunnery sinks to new depths.
Stories of Ajax casuals looking for bother in bars again tonight,place is a total midden
Dena29,
thanks very much,its an awesome place,
not many places in the world will give you limitless drink while playing
video poker at 15p a go,a few evenings I had a right good session
and the only money I spent was on tips to the bar staff.
Delaneys,
I am just a low roller I am afraid so no big winnings,
seen an ad in Thomas Cook today for Nov in Vegas
at less than £500 for the week,have to admit I am tempted
Croatian acquaintance supports Zagreb and Hoops.He is delighted with their victory over the Gunners. When asked about our new signing he said he was a good enough young player….but a bit like Effe at times.Mmmmmmmmm!
How is that 10 in a row coming along for you?
How is that”Rangers are dead” drivel coming along for you?
or Celtic European Champions by 2019 spouted by some well respected knobends on here.

A supporter has BO, so feckin what ? My point exactly, why has this become public knowledge ? We are going to be slaughtered with this pish both by the press and on the terraces (sic) I realise we have more important things to be going on with but why shoot ourselves in the foot when it should have been resolved without any hassle ?

Bhoys and Ghirls
Remember all proceeds after badge costs will go direct to Help Shay along the way, a more than worthy cause.
The safest way to guarantee your badges/cufflinks is to pre-order and pay for your badges now. That way you will not miss out. Once we hit the drunken CQN hoards at BMCUWP’s hootenanny in October (feck they might even buy Docs badge) your chances to buy them will dramatically reduce

I’ve heard reports of that too. It goes a long way to explain why we only sold around half of our allocation.

My son’s mate in Sin City tonight. He texted it is mental with Amsterdam hooligans. Celtic fans getting attacked. Scum mob.
Personally I suspect that the incredibly lazy journalism practiced by Paul67 this year on CQN is due to the fact that he has been “Lawwelled”.
i.e. Paul believes that his internet bampottery success means that it is now important that he editorializes and adjudicates on behalf of the board as voices like his cannot be used as a vehicle to say anything but the approved poperganda of the board to us come dunts and as such, retrospectively, he believes it.
Its a wonderful life!
EDB yes I have nothing to say.
Unlike your rather remarkable contribution to debate on cqn.
I bow to you sir.
Auldheid. Let me confess to you first. I have I confess studied psychology and sociology in the past. I am more tha aware of perspectives and views and understanding behaviour beyond the facade. It has stood me in remarkable good stead through my career.
You are deservedly a well respected poster on cqn. But I am not buying you popcorn my friend.
Onto your question.
So my world view justification!
If the event is true.
Why on earth is the SLO sending such letters. My god I am pretty sure most supporters at most clubs have far more concerning matters to deal with. Celtic relationship with its support has all but broken down. That Celtic would deem this worthy of time and attention would, to me, signify a complete lack of grip from those running the club.
If the event is false
The fair enough, unless our SLo fell for it. If so again a lack of trust from the club. If not I expect Celtic to go after the daily record legally and with gusto. Now I know they won’t and so do you. But that’s because they couldn’t care less about us.
This is a racism story and Celtic should go after it as such.
That they won’t says it’s all.
And lastly, can I ask you four simple questions?
What is your favourite colour?
What is your favourite animal?
You find yourself in a white room with no windows or doors. How do you feel?
You find yourself travelling on a road. Describe the road?
Look forward to the answers Auldheid.
Take care all you brave supporters already in Amsterdam or about to travel tomorrow. Stay safe and come home with a good result. YNWA.
Auldheid
Res 12.
Any Celtic support to the Celtic support yet?
Maggie
Be careful.
The powers that be could have you sent to a re education camp.
Now repeat after me
Stronger after every window
Fast attacking football
Revolutionary new diet ,innovative young manager ( much sought after)
Biggest net spend since hartson.
Memorise these simple truths. It will help you be at peace
Macjay1 is that it? Shall I help you remove the hook from your mouth?

And EDB its 11 years of saying nothing, not 8!
The Long wait is Over
Thanks for getting back to me. Managed to track it down. Would Celtic have the team badge on their stationery, (checked the sp), they always used to use a green outline of the badge, back then anyway.
Neganon
In general some of the points you make are accurate. Some, I feel, are made simply because you’ll never express praise for anything the club does.
The bit I don’t understand is why you do so little about it when you’re clearly so passionate about many of these things.
Evening Neganon
If you don’t mind me saying, you seem to assume the worst of Celtic on a lot of occasions. I know you will say to me do you blame me?
Why not wait to find out whether Celtic have sent the letter before passing judgement. That makes your comments all the more creditworthy.
I am not happy with a lot of things Celtic do, but it is not always 100% bad.
Keep fighting the fight as your (extreme) view helps even out the happy clappy clappers :-)

Evening Connaire12
I hope you are well and I was hoping that you would have been at the Greenock CSC sportsman dinner as I wanted to have a wee chat with you.
Can you drop me an email at celticrollercoaster@yahoo.co.uk when you get a chance?

ps Tosh McKinlay -stand up comedian was a hoot!
Does anyone else think that we will get a victory in Amsterdam tomorrow?
I do.
Butsy
The weans in my place would leather them before they got anywhere near the building :-)
Delaneys
No
I think we have no chance.
However I have been wrong before
DD
I’m worried about tomorrow but then my mind wanders to games of the past that we weren’t expected to win, but did!!
CRC
Tosh funny???
He must have got a script writer since we were kids. ;))

=============================================================
Is this the hook you are referring to?
And I quote :
“Didn’t you realising I was be ironic”
HT-DD – Been to Amsterdam a couple of times,always on edge,lawless scary place.HH
Should uefa not be taking action against Ajax and their fans ?
Happening to regular with visiting teams fans being attached there, particularly European games
Maybe time to have them banned ?
Hail Hail
